I.":' ' ?*., One of tflie mistakes in the conduct of Iranian life is to suppose that other men's ;i:' (pinions are to make us happy.--Burton. Yield once, and a portion of virtue is ;i gone. Resist manfully, and the first de­ cision will give strength for life; repeated, H it will become a habit.--Samuel Smiles. "Can you tell me how the word 'sa- loon' is spelled ? " was asked of a cockney. "Certaiuly," said the Londoner with a look of triumph. "There's a hess and a- hay ,and a hell, and two hoes and a hen." A Word to Boys. If we are to have drunkards in the fu- some of them are to come from the boya of whom I am now writing, And I ask you if you want to become one of them? No, of course you don't. Well, I have a plan that is just as sure to save you from such a fate as the sun is to rise, tomorJow. It never failed, it never will fail, and it is worth knowing.^' Never touch liquor in any form. That is the plan and it is worth putting into prac­ tice. I know you don't drink now, and it seems to me you never would. But your temptation will come, and it will probably come this way. You will find ycnrself sometimes with* a number of companions and they will have a bottle of wine on the table. They will drink and offer it to you. They will regard it as a manly practice, and very likely they will look upon you as a milksop if you don't indulge with them. Then what will yon do? Will you say, "No, no! none of that stuff for me!" or will you take the glass with your common sense profiting and your conscience making the whole draught bitter, and go off with a hot head and skulking soul that at once begins to make apologies for itself and will keep doing so all your life? Boys, do not become drunkards. jtVEIJT WOMAN THAT HAS" ANY SENSE.,, And many there be we, hope, V&.L 5PEMB HER CENTo FOfl A USEFUL CAKE Of WRRANICS-$ANTA«€i AUSrSOAP- TO STAY, D WITH A FULL LINE OF And, No Mistake. piiJLBBuxrr sjiiiiiiiuiittttmiiiiniiiiiiteteiiiiiiiiiiiiiffiuniiiiiMiittm • Clean, Fresh Stock of DRY GOODS, NOTIONS,! | HATS, CAPS, BOOTS.
